50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Gaio Rosario

“Good food, good service, I just found it a little noisy due to the fact that there were a lot of people talking loudly at the same time. But. We will go back without a doubt.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for people with mobility disabilities.“

“If you haven't been to this place, you're missing out big time! Mushroom lover or not, you need to try this restaurant! In some dishes you don't even see the mushrooms, but rest assured, they are there. We tried a few dishes, my favourites were the perfect egg, the hummus, the risotto, and the desserts. Special node to the desserts, especially if you enjoy a bit of savouriness, definitely go for them. The restaurant has a very interesting character that is left open to interpretation and it's a good point for discussion. Overall a fantastic experience, definitely a must when visiting Lisbon. You won't find traditional Portuguese dishes, but you might find a new favourite restaurant!“

“Very good home cooking. A good place to eat a delicious Cod a la Nata. The place is small but we were lucky and there was a table for 4. The price is appropriate for the quality although it is not cheap, but a day of tribute is worth the expense.“

“Visiting Lisbon with my family from Boston. Came across this hidden gem while searching for restaurants on google maps. From the time we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff. We chose to sit out back, mainly because we had our two young sons with us. We ordered a caprese salad, minestrone soup, garlic bread, french fries, tomato bruschetta, 2 margharita pizzas and penne carbonara. My goodness! Everything was delicious and the price point was PERFECT! It was wonderful chatting with our server! Clearly everyone at this establishment takes a great deal of pride in what they do. I honestly would drive an hour to eat here again. It’s really that good! Hoping to stop by before our trip back to Boston!“

“It reflects the best positive reviews: dinner for three with risotto, fish soup and grilled octopus. Excellent flavors in good balance, quality in the food and courtesy in the service, shame that it is closed tomorrow, we would have gladly returned to taste the meat.“

“If you don’t eat here while in Lisbon you’re missing out. The atmosphere is perfectly set, tucked away from the major tourist areas of Old Town makes this feel more intimate and local! Staff are attentive without disrupting your meal, happy to give recommendations and advice (shout out in particular to our waiter Diego). The food is in the simplest terms - delicious. Some of the best meals I’ve ever had, we ate twice here as we didn’t feel we’d find better in Lisbon. The restaurant is a credit to all their staff, I’d give it 10 stars if I could.“

“Food was good. Service friendly and quick. The impression was somewhat marred by the already very worn/used menu (laminated A3 format with marked dishes that are no longer in stock) and the handwritten invoice (amounts are more for guessing than reading, the whole thing on a small piece of paper).

Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance via a step, so not recommended with a wheelchair.“

“We went there for dinner and it was honestly one of the best restaurants I've ever been too.

Nice vibes, small but spacious and wonderful staff.

The food was INCREDIBLE! We had the Tuna Tataki, Tuna Tartar, Ceviche, Shrimp Tacos as starters, the Miso Octopus and Scallop Linguine as mains and the amazing Caramel Lava Cake for dessert. Every single dish was perfectly seasoned and tasted awesome.

I would give a thousand stars if Google let me, and I'll definitely come back! ?“

“This experience felt like a warm farewell hug to end my time in Lisbon. I stopped by at dinner time hours before my flight back home. I wanted to end my trip with a wine tasting and found this place on Google. I decided to try it based on the reviews. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. The owner was kind, welcoming, and attentive. I chose 3 plates I was interested in and he decided the order in which to serve them and what wine to pair them with. The flavors of everything were unreal. I might still be riding a little bit of a high from this experience. Absolutely stop by here during your trip.“

“A place with good service and good treatment, if you come in a large group it is a good recommendation because they will give you space.

The food is not very outstanding but the prices are very fair in relation to quality and price.

What you should take into account is that if it is hot outside, it is very hot inside the place. I would recommend that owners think about having air conditioning.“

“They have attended us without reservation with great friendliness and availability. The person at the reception is charming. The place has a very careful decoration and is integrated into the neighborhood. We ordered exquisite cod brais, grilled tuna with coconut milk, delicious, and linguine with tartufo, also very good. Highly recommended if you come to Lisbon. We missed trying the powder, what a shame.“

“Spectacular food and service show why Alma deserves their two Michelin stars! We enjoyed every dish, and the pork and potato terrine remains the best dish we experienced on our trip across Portugal.

A small deduction was made for the environment, which is beautiful but puts guests a little close together in what became a noisier dinner experience than we would expect for the upscale nature. Additionally, the overall value rounds out the 4/5 review. We would never expect such artistic culinary creations to be frugal, but the cost of the tasting menu with no consideration for wine pairing was a small note in the negative.

All in all we would recommend Alma as an experience if you love appreciating the art that fine dining can be, and their staff were some of the best in the business!“

“It was a very pleasant dinner. After a misunderstanding they resolved it satisfactorily and were courteous and willing at all times. The burger, according to my son, the best in the world. The grilled cod is very good. And a very good egg and sausage scramble too. Of the desserts we really liked the creme brulee. It was a very pleasant dinner. Thank you.“

“Very pleasant restaurant, reservation being essential to eat there, the number of people in the room is regulated and allows a calm meal in a subdued atmosphere.
The service is warm and quality, the owner takes care to personalize the service and all with a smile.
The cuisine is hearty and tasty.
We had a great time marking the end of our stay in Lisbon, and can only recommend it.

Vegetarian options: You can taste a Portuguese sausage specialty with meat and bread, suitable for vegetarians. The vegetarian dishes are very tasty.“

“This place is fantastic! Each dish we got was easily a 10/10. Very flavorful and delicious! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. We loved it so much we talked about coming back the next day for lunch! Definitely worth a visit.“

“Taken by friends, as I was unfamiliar with the place, it proved to be a gastronomic surprise, despite the noise not allowing for large conversations. Without ever reaching the stratospheric limit of "divine", the small restaurant served dishes of good, honest and unpretentious Portuguese food. The only negative note for the creamed milk, floured and with few eggs, which could have been something from a packet. A shame, because the burnt sugar topping was delicious.“

“What we ordered was very good, soup of the day with vegetables and legumes, rice with octopus, and homemade caramel cream for dessert. The service is fast and the waiters very attentive, they have invited us to ginja liqueur. Recommended site!“

“We had an extraordinary enjoyable experience dining in this lovely restaurant at our stay in Lisbon. The food and the wine were excellent and the friendly staff added to the lovely atmosphere. Together with the reasonable price we highly
recommend and will definitely come back.“

“I've been here a couple of times, and every time I go to Lisboa travelling via Oriente station, I try to make a beeline for it. Fabulous food, wonderful , person attention, a real family business. And if you have never tried chilled blackberry juice (sumo de amoras) with berries floating in it on a very hot summer's day...baby, you haven't lived!!“

“We went on time for the Bolinhos de Bacalao and they are really good and at a good price, with a sauce that accompanies it great, they served us well. Access is not easy, there is no car and it is on a steep slope with the ground somewhat slippery, but it is worth it.

Parking: There is no parking nearby

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

“

“Excellent place for lunch or dinner in Lisbon!
It is very close to the historic center of Lisbon and the food is very good at a very good price for being in the center.
Joy has looked after us very well, he is very friendly and has advised us on everything we have asked for.“

“ARYAN is a good serveur

Vegetarian options: i dont eat

Kid-friendliness: ok

Wheelchair accessibility: ok“

“Magnifique restaurant et surtout bar à vins avec une cave extraordinaire, dans un cadre chaleureux.
Les tapas et plats sont très élaborés et faits maison, à partager ou en solo.
Les conseils du serveur sur le choix des vins est très pertinent, il était à l’écoute de nos goûts et a su trouver les bons accords mets/vins.
Service un peu long cependant avec un restaurant bondé.
Réservation conseillée.“

“Geweldig restaurant. Goed eten tegen een goede prijs. Je wordt gelijk opgevangen door het personeel die wel van een praatje en grapje houden. Eten werd snel geleverd en van hoge kwaliteit. Onze ober heeft zelf een gratis schotje gegeven om de Portugeze cultuur te proeven.“

“We loved it, the super friendly team, an environment that makes you want to be.
Reasonable prices, we were very well served. We came from France to visit the sanctuary and were a little lost.
We will definitely come back again
Thank you ?“

“You MUST eat and drink here!!! Checked out food and drink menus for over a dozen places and Can the Can stood out - the Pica Pau is the best I’ve ever had - exceptional service (Leticia is amazing) and the drinks are second to none - tell Anthony or Daniel what you’re looking for at the bar and they won’t disappoint. Beyond dining and drinking - Try the Garum - if you like food, you will need to get this!“

“Wonderful venue in Bairro Alto. We arrived here by chance after a tiring but wonderful walk up high. The kids, very young, welcomed us even though it was 4 in the afternoon. The tables outside hosted several people from all over the world. We ate very well, the menu was limited but very satisfying, all the dishes were delicious.
Competitive prices. Absolutely to return“

“Affordable seafood restaurant. If you are looking for an english speaking resto this is not the place but the owner's patience and friendliness to describe his menu more than makes up for it. Fantastic octopus and seafood Arroz. However, our guests ordered 2 grilled salmon which came somewhat overcooked for our taste. Otherwise, fair price for good quality ingredients from the sea. Friendly staff. Small menu. Best seafood restaurant in lisbom so far. Nothing to do with downtown.“

“Everything excellent!! The preparations are very good, a lot of flavor. The waiters were all very friendly and polite. We have eaten several times during our stay because I am gluten intolerant and they have almost all the dishes adapted and also a gluten free super bock that is very cold and delicious!!! I recommend 100%. A place for everyone but especially for celiacs. It has been difficult for me to find good options to eat and especially to have a cold gluten-free beer, here it is waiting for you ?!!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free beer“

“Restaurant in the lower part of the Alfama neighborhood. Small but charming. Good fish, although we have tried better in Lisbon in similar restaurants. We did not make a reservation and had to wait 50 minutes. Very friendly waiters. Card payment is not allowed. Recommendable.“

“We went to a “candlelight” concert at the “Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora” and as we know that parking nearby is not easy… we thought we would arrive earlier than most and have dinner there, with “Gato Pardo” being the perfect option. … Dear, lots of space. friendly and good reviews (4.7*>thousand), and really well deserved! Everything was great, the gizzards, the cheeks, the bread & olive oil, the peppers ?️ pardon, the dessert, everything… It was one of those nights, simple and perfect. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend the experience!“

“Totally family-friendly place where you will eat very fresh grilled fish. Homemade food 100x100
You share the same table with other customers.
I recommend it, if you are going to eat delicious, cheap, and go somewhere else to have an after-dinner meal.
The only downside is that you come out smelling like charcoal... but it made up for me because of how good the food was.“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service provided by the owner. I've had the pork cheeks with mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs with black pork as a starter, and curd cheesecake as a dessert, along with the recommended red wine, and it has been the best meal I've had in Lisbon so far. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an incredible dinner in a very local Lisbon establishment.“

“Octopus legs are fresh and delicious!
One portion can be shared by two people, including spinach and a lot of potatoes?!
Sangria is delicious in a big cup!
The business is very good. It is recommended to make a reservation or go as soon as the door opens.“

“The food is amazing! The arroz de marisco is delicious with a hint of coriander, and the shrimp pasta is flavorful, though the spaghetti could be more al dente. The attendants were kind and considerate. one didn’t rush me when I was browsing the menu before deciding to dine. The other offered us ginja, a Portuguese liqor made by infusing ginja berries. Everything we tried is first time and we love it!“

“We reserved a table for 9, we got there in perfect time, they told us we called the wrong number, we checked with the restaurant owner and it was the exact same phone number you can find here, we tried to call the number in front of them and they hanged it in front of us. Unfortunately we don't understand Portuguese but they were clearly talking about us negatively. Reading comments we could understand they don't like foreigners that look "poor" and prefer to take reservations just for drinking and not eating. If you want to try and go there just know you can get rejected just because they don't like you by your look.
Good luck i guess.

EDIT: I'll keep the last comment because I think it should be clear what happened, they called us the next day saying sorry, they had a problem with a new manager, the "old" one asked if we wanted to go back to the place the next day, we did and they offered us a lot of food and drinks and they apologized, the food was grate and the "old" manager was really a awesome person, very pleasant dinner“

“Restaurant that I highly recommend. Very welcoming and attentive servers. Very nice pieces of fish and meat. 13€ for the salmon steak with fries and salad. 59€ for 3 with shared starter, main course and soft drink. Very good value for money“

“Fantastic experience. When you come in, there is bread,butter, olives, ham & cheese on the table - you do not have to take it, but you'll miss out. It's so good! We chose the fish and were not dissapointed. They brought a whole lobster for 2 people, plus shrimps and clams - on top of the dish Base with rice, port and small shrimps
Extensive wine list - we were overwhelmed and asked out server for a recommendation. She suggested a very well priced red that was a good match for our meal.
Recommend.“

“We were two people, we ordered Portuguese style bitoque and bait.
I haven't eaten such tasty bait in a long time.
The bitoque, the meat very tender, and the sauce well seasoned.
I recommend it, and I will return because of the friendliness, the good homemade food and the good atmosphere.“

“Excellent food and great service. The servers are attentive and provide excellent recommendations. The cauliflower two ways is the best dish on the menu. Dinner on the terrace is relaxed and a great way to end the day.

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower

Dietary restrictions: Lacto, ovo, pescatarian“

“We only came here for the beer. The wonderful views from this restaurant are reason enough to sit at one of the tables. In addition, there is courteous service and delicious, cold beer. It is possible to pay by card. My wife and I spent a lovely half hour here. Thank you. My only regret is that we didn't try the local cuisine, but we weren't hungry yet. Maybe next time?“

“Returning randomly we had a great time.
The dishes are quality and plentiful (salmon & risotto, Lageiriro cod).
The staff is very welcoming.
Notorious attention: gracious dessert for my birthday… without asking for anything!!!
To recommend.“

“Romantic place and beautiful interior. We ate a very good paella, slightly salty but nothing to complain about. Fast service and friendly staff. Prices quite high but still it is in the center. Be careful if you take the sparkling water they bring you San Pellegrino and you pay €7 for 75cl ?“

“I don't understand any of the negative reviews. Service was some of the best I've had. The view is incredible. We were very happy with our meals- excellent food. Live music was very pleasant. We also had breakfast here which was amazing in terms of quality and selection.“

“Delicious food, very friendly service, takes care of guests at a high level. The dishes were served very quickly, about 15 minutes of waiting for the main course. Family atmosphere, if you want to eat somewhere good in Lisbon, this place is the perfect choice. Affordable prices, adequate to the quality.“

“Memorable dinner at Beco a Sério. Tucked in a courtyard off a pedestrian street in the hills of Lisbon, a pleasant change from summer crowds and bustle. We were made to feel welcome and were able to enjoy well made top quality starters, main courses (both seafood and meat options were great), desserts, and nice wines. Small-ish place with maybe ten tables.“

“It feels like a restaurant frequented by locals. It really tastes like Seabeth.
Have lunch and come back in the evening.
It's much more delicious here than the tourist patch restaurants in the city. I want to try everything, but it's a shame.
You don’t speak English, but you are kind.“

“Great local seafood restaurant in Lisbon!

We had Cod filet, clamps, seafood rice, and garlic prawns (so good that we even forgot to take photo). All the seafood here is really fresh and the seasoning is simple but heightening the flavors of the original ingredients.

This place seems more for local Lisbon people to have a beer and some seafood snacks not tourist-oriented. The price here is very reasonable. The interior decoration is also very simple. Staff here might not speak English, but they still try offering friendly services.

Definitely a place worth a visit for local seafood experience in Lisbon.“

“A restaurant on the new avenues of Lisbon, with a neighborhood atmosphere, without tourists, where Portuguese is spoken.
Great service, typical Portuguese food very well prepared. Partridge game dishes were a delicacy.
I recommend.“

“The final bouquet of our stay in Lisbon!
Thank you Medames for the quality of your welcome and your cuisine: “here everything is cooked on the spot”
Perhaps the most beautiful address in Lisbon...provided you are not in a hurry
We'll come back! Obligado “
